Three sports will receive funding through the Mark Lowry Sport Excellence Fund for exciting new projects.
“Mark’s legacy will help supply Canadian athletes with the tools they need to perform on the world stage. I can think of no greater tribute to a leader in Canadian sport.,” said Canadian Olympic Commitee (COC) President Marcel Aubut.
The Canadian Curling Association will receive funding for the Mark Lowry Sweeping Laboratory and the Mark Lowry Mobile Sweeping Laboratory.
The fund will assist Swimming Canada, through the Mark Lowry Recovery Centre in Vancouver’s National Swimming Centre, which will provide important services for athletes such as massage therapy and physiotherapy.
The fund will also help the Canadian Cycling Association, with funds going towards special equipment to assist Paralympic cyclists in training at Cycling Canada’s Calgary and Bromont, Que. training centres.
The Mark Lowry Sport Excellence Fund was established by the family of the former COC executive director of sport who passed away in 2005.
